The
Fairfax County Animal Shelter is hosting a special adoption event May 15
– May 19 featuring senior cats. The shelter will be Rockin’ n’ Adopt’n
with the oldies but goodies during the event. Adoptions will take place
Tuesday through Friday, from noon until 6:30 p.m. and on Saturday, from
10 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. The event is being held at the Fairfax County
Animal Shelter, 4500 West Ox Road, Fairfax, Va. 22030.

Special
adoption fees for cats 5 years of age and older will be $15.00, which is
half the normal fee. All cats 5 years and older will receive a free spay
or neuter and will be current on all vaccinations. Adopters will receive
a rockin’ Friends of the Fairfax County Animal Shelter gift bag with a
cat bed, food, scratching box and cat toys.

Anyone
adopting a cat seven years or older will also receive a free full panel
of blood work on the adopted cat (provided by the shelter’s contract
veterinarian) to give the adopter basic health information about the cat.

“Senior
cats make great pets,” says Dr. Karen P. Diviney, director, Fairfax
County Animal Shelter. “They are often overlooked in animal shelters, but
our aim during this event is to show what wonderful additions they can
make to a family.”
